If you are using larger diameter bars with a reducer this is difficult to do. I guess that's why Stumpy is putting a tunnel into the reducer. May do that myself having thought about it some more

So, having thought about it some more I've cut a channel in the reducer and am going to modify the switch so the wires disappear into the reduced directly inder the switch, thanks to Stumpy and Old Newbie for that idea  |

And ive also fitted the first of the 2 outlets for the accelerator and brake pipes. The first attempt / mockup looked horrible, but this second attempt will be OK I hope.
Put a little angle on the crush tube so that the edge doesn't cut into the accelerator outer sheath when withdrawing it, then welded it into place.

So welded it in, then spent an age carefully dressing the weld, quite pleased with that. Needs a small rubber grommet in the end to really finish it off and prevent any cable chafing, may end up making my own out of the sheet of silicon rubber I have. something conical may look good.

Looking much nicer. You can buy cable end rubbers but a neat (cheap) solution is a short length of wiring cable shrink tube. You might also be able to use the narrow section of an old rubber spark plug cover. |

Finished the right hand side now. Wires will run through the cannel in the reducer, leaving a clean look to the whole thing

Its taken ages! And now i'm looking at ON's internal throttle and wondering if I could have done that. There is always something you see after you have done yours, ideas for the next build hey!

Nicely done Andy. Remember to align the slot in the reducer with the wires before welding it in. It's a real pain if you get it wrong ( been there, done that  ) As for the throttle I'm sure you could have, but integrating it in with internal brake pipe and wiring would be difficult. I have nothing on the right hand bar, other than the throttle. |

Lookin' nice Andy. As you say, it's handy to share, or just downright steal, ideas from others here.  |
